The Premier League features a high-profile fixture this weekend as Liverpool lock horns with Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday. The two English giants are yet to drop points in the Premier League and will be intent on maintaining their perfect record this weekend.
Liverpool were not at their best last season and struggled to cope with a spate of injuries over the course of their Premier League campaign. The Merseyside outfit eased past Burnley last weekend and will relish facing a more formidable opponent on Saturday.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have shown tremendous improvement under Thomas Tuchel and are potential title contenders this season. The reigning European champions eased past arch-rivals Arsenal in their previous game and will want a similar result against Liverpool.
Liverpool vs Chelsea Head-to-Head
Liverpool have a good historical record against Chelsea and have won 82 matches out of 188 games played between the two sides. Chelsea have managed 65 victories against Liverpool and will want to be at their best this weekend.
The previous meeting between the two Premier League behemoths took place in March this year and ended in a 1-0 victory for Chelsea. Mason Mount scored a crucial goal on the day and will want to replicate his heroics on Saturday.
